As we walked out into King Gillette it followed closely behind (no fear of humans it seemed). I can understand the temptation people had to feed this little one, but it may well have done serious harm. I tried to correct the problem - - - - -

So you can better understand what you see here: The stem of the longest specimen of this group of trumpet-like structures is about 1.5 cm long. I found them in the forest on a moss-covered tree trunk.

But what is this? Are these aliens about to take over the world? Or are they the musical instruments the forest uses to produce its characteristic wind sounds?

The world beyond our own "normal" perspective holds many surprises. Things so small that you only see them if you actively look for them, and which then leave us amazed.

This, by the way, which is a completely terrestrial pebbled pixie-cup, is one of them.

 

Damit Ihr das, was Ihr hier seht besser einordnen könnt. Der Stiel des längsten Exemplars dieser Gruppe posaunenen-artiger Gebilde ist ca. 1,5 cm lang. Gefunden habe ich sie im Wald an einem mit Moos bedeckten Baumstamm.

Doch was ist das ? Sind das etwas Aliens, die beginnen die Welt zu übernehmen ? Oder sind das die Musikinstrumente, mit denen der Wald seine typischen Windgeräusche produziert ?

Die Welt außerhalb unserer eigenen "normalen" Pespektive hält viele Überraschungen bereit. Dinge, die so klein sind, dass man sie nur zu Gesicht bekommt, wenn man aktiv danach sucht und die uns dann erstaunt zurück lassen.

Das hier, bei dem es sich übrigens um eine völlig irdische Becherflechte handelt, ist eins davon.

Yesterday I was in Lozerheide again and I wanted to see if I could find Pseudachorutes sp. again. Unfortunately they have done "management works" which I don't quite understand because everything has been excavated at the place where I found the Pseudachorutes sp. before, springtails gone... 😢

The most beautiful quiet place I always went to is now an arid plain...

I hope they don't destroy the home of Lepidocyrtus paradoxus too.

 

I found this one elsewhere in the area.

i teach one of my student, his name is Mario, to make a shot. soon he understand how to make a nice shot. this is not taken by me, it is taken by him. i think this one is interesting, so i post it here, because he has no Flickr account. more shots will come. a bit blur, this is his first experience, using my camera. hope you like this, my friends. really this is not me, who take this picture....

Beautiful trees, birds singing, sunshine after the overnight rain, I’m loving this😊

Oh! Poor Lucky! She doesn’t seem to understand as she mewls piteously after it, that birds generally don’t like to play with cats, and that usually when cats do play with birds, the bird ends up worse off for it. Never mind sweet Lucky, I think it’s time for something to eat, and I know that you never so say no to a decent meal. This is Lucky. She is a very demanding black cat, and she is always mewing for something… loudly! However, I love her so much that with a face like hers, I can refuse her nothing!

 

The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 24th of May is "cats in black & white". Luckily, this includes felines of the non-real variety, as I have no real animal pets of my own, which is too long and painful a story to go into as to why. I have always loved black cats, and when the theme was announced, Lucky was my immediate thought. Lucky is the lucky Royal Doulton black cat with a white face. She was designed by Charles Noke and was issued between 1932 and 1975. My Lucky is from the pre-war 1932 – 1936 period looking at her green backstamp. I have photographed her against a piece of art paper featuring a print of birds either in a cage or flying free. I have opted for the latter, which I think works quite nicely, and adds a bit of interest to my storytelling shot. I hope that you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!

 

Royal Doulton is an English ceramic manufacturing company dating from 1815. Operating originally in Vauxhall, London, later moving to Lambeth, in 1882 it opened a factory in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, in the centre of English pottery. From the start the backbone of the business was a wide range of utilitarian wares, mostly stonewares including storage jars, tankards and the like, and later extending to pipes for drains, lavatories and other bathroom ceramics. From 1853 to 1902 its wares were marked Doulton & Co., then from 1902, when a royal warrant was given, Royal Doulton. It always made some more decorative wares, initially still mostly stoneware, and from the 1860s the firm made considerable efforts to get a reputation for design, in which it was largely successful, as one of the first British makers of art pottery. Initially this was done through artistic stonewares made in Lambeth, but in 1882 the firm bought a Burslem factory, which was mainly intended for making bone china tablewares and decorative items. It was a latecomer in this market compared to firms such as Royal Crown Derby, Royal Worcester, Wedgwood, Spode and Mintons, but made a place for itself in the later 19th century. Today Royal Doulton mainly produces tableware and figurines, but also cookware, glassware, and other home accessories such as linens, curtains and lighting. Three of its brands were Royal Doulton, Royal Albert and (after a post-WWII merger) Mintons. Royal Doulton is one of the last great British bone china manufacturers still in existence.

Today is the 11th day of Valentine's month of February, and I wanted to share my love of curiosity, travel, and research. Of course, picking up the camera has enhanced my curiosity and made me even more aware of my surroundings. Art, too, has enabled me to share my feelings more deeply than by word, which is not one of my strengths

If by Rudyard Kipling

 

To learn while still a child

What this life is meant to be.

To know it goes beyond myself,

It’s so much more than me.

To overcome the tragedies,

To survive the hardest times.

To face those moments filled with pain,

And still, manage to be kind.

To fight for those who can’t themselves,

To always share my light.

With those who wander in the dark,

To love with all my might.

To still stand up with courage,

Though standing on my own.

To still get up and face each day,

Even when I feel alone.

To try to understand the ones

That no one cares to know.

And make them feel some value.

When the world has let them go.

To be an anchor, strong and true,

That person loyal to the end.

To be a constant source of hope

To my family and my friends.

To live a life of decency,

To share my heart and soul.

To always say I’m sorry

When I’ve harmed both friend and foe.

To be proud of whom I’ve tried to be,

And this life I chose to live.

To make the most of every day

By giving all I have to give.

To me, that’s what this life should be,

To me, that’s what it’s for.

To take what God has given me

And make it so much more

To live a life that matters,

To be someone of great worth.

To love and be loved in return

And make my mark on Earth..

 

Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.

Zora Neale Hurston

 

Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing.

Wernher von Braun

 

Research means that you don’t know, but are willing to find out.

Charles F. Kettering

 

Research is something that everyone can do, and everyone ought to do. It is simply collecting information and thinking systematically about it.

Raewyn Connell

 

Bad news sells papers. It also sells market research.

Byron Sharp

 

A person susceptible to ‘wanderlust’ is not so much addicted to movement as committed to transformation.

Pico Iyer

 

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

Sainte Augustine

 

The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he comes to see.”

Gilbert K Chesterton

 

Traveling solo does not always mean you’re alone. Most often, you meet marvelous people along the way and make connections that last a lifetime.

Jacqueline Boone

 

An understanding of the natural world and what’s in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfilment.

Sir David Attenborough

 

Oh, the places you will go.

Dr. Seuss

 

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

Louis Armstrong

 

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

What does it take to understand that guns kill? Why do we insist upon having guns? Can we think, instead of being governed by fear?

 

Violence only adds to more violence. Start with eliminating poverty and creating more equality thereby eliminating squalor, indignity, hunger, death and desperation. Try a little love, it goes a long way and does not create violence! History repeats itself, violence has never been and never will be the solution, helping one another in a peaceful way does make a difference, the damage has been done, so it won't be easy but it is better than violence.

 

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜

  

To really love a woman

To understand her

You gotta know her deep inside

Hear every thought

See every dream

And give her wings

When she wants to fly

Then when you find

Yourself layin' helpless in her arms

You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her

That she's really wanted

When you love a woman

You tell her that she's the one

'Cause she needs somebody to tell her

That it's gonna last forever

So tell me have you ever really

Really, really ever loved a woman?

To really love a woman

Let her hold you

'Til ya know how she needs to be touched

You've gotta breathe her, really taste her

'Til you can feel her in your blood

And when you can see your

Unborn children in her eyes

You know you really love a woman

(I understand) I know what it's like to be misunderstood for being a free thinker but I have no idea what it would be like to be judged by the color of my skin, I can only imagine the frustration, can't help but wonder if God made the whole world B&W would we still be as judgemental?.... Probably...I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt until they prove otherwise. Be humble and kind to whoever you meet today, it's a rippling effect that can reach far and wide....:)

* I stopped to give a native girl who was broke down a boost yesterday, she was ever so grateful and amazed I knew how to do that.... still leaves me smiling today.

let go of me, my friend, you do not understand; i lay here in your hands, you see now how it ends.

not true. no place can contain me without you. i’ll build you up like pinocchio was made. nobody will know anything, i’ll call your name with that air like we’ve just seen each other and soon we’ll meet again. one eventless day i’ll show up on your doorsteps out of the blue to tell you that everything’s ok; i’ve bought flight tickets, train tickets, ship tickets and we can travel beyond the end of the world. me and you.

What are you doing when i miss you, darling? i feel like dying, i won’t make it not even one more day if i can’t pick you up from the impossible i’m afraid one night you’ll leave, when this will happen i swear on you and the entire water that keeps my boat inclined toward old feels that you’ll remain beyond the shapes and numbers, mine for ever like a shoulder to an arm. What are you doing when i miss you, darling? My eyes are full of tears to my heels.

Drowning ,

… like Jeff Buckley did.

 

Here’s “Forget her”:

youtu.be/HO0svGjVEP8

While this town is busy sleeping,

All the noise has died away.

I walk the streets to stop my weeping,

'Cause she'll never change her ways.

Don't fool yourself,

She was heartache from the moment that you met her.

My heart feels so still

As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.

Oh I think I've forgotten her now.

Her love is a rose, pale and dying.

Dropping her petals in land unknown

All full of wine, the world before her,

Was sober with no place to go.

Don't fool yourself,

She was heartache from the moment that you met her.

My heart is frozen still

As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.

She's somewhere out there now.

Well my tears falling down as I try to forget,

Her love was a joke from the day that we met.

All of the words, all of her men,

All of my pain when I think back to when.

Remember her hair as it shone in the sun,

The smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done.

Tell yourself over and over

You won't ever need her again.

But don't fool yourself,

She was heartache from the moment that you met her.

My heart is frozen still

As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.

She's out there somewhere now.

Oh she was heartache from the day that I first met her.

My heart is frozen still

As I try to find the will to forget you, somehow.

'Cause I know you're somewhere out there right now.

In the future we will have to resort to strange ways of obtaining water or energy. Let us hope that they are all compatible with our environment.

I am in chock!

 

In Paris more than 150 people killed by terrorists in a synchronised attack on six places!!!

 

I don´t understand this

Nature teaches so many profound lessons in such a way that even the youngest child can understand! We are all part of a family -- and how wonderful that is!!! But, how equally wonderful that each and every one of us has unique talents, abilities, likes, passions, insights, and individuality. We can all learn from each other and collectively we can create amazing beauty!!!!

 

NOTE: Thanks so much for your many kind comments, faves, and invites. I especially thank you for your friendship! What a special joy you bring into my life each day!!!!

What I shared with my brother deacons today...

 

As a deacon, I go to church to serve my community. I understand that the Church is divided into two camps, which is to easily done with cheap labels such as conservative and liberal. My faith helps me to rise above these cheap labels and see all as the children of God. I’m tired of the cheap judgements that each side conveniently casts on the “other.” I serve both sides...I leave my petty judgements to God where it belongs.

 

At church, it is no longer “I” but “HE” that serves in me. I wish it was the same in this Facebook deacon group.

Frankly, I do not understand the hype about this man. Self-indulgent, bored with himself, delivering so-so performance. I seen him first time and last time. Would not recognize his music. Asked for 'shades' (it was dark), removed them in the middle of the same song. That alone told me who this guy is. I do not normally write anything bad about any musician, but this was not a good show. Glasper must have somehow get to, where he is now, but I did not see anything inspiring in this performance. Using recorded music, (of other artists), in live performance...wtf? Bringing his 4 year old girl on the stage, just deepen my feelings expressed above. And there was one song which basically told me what he is all about: ♫“Fuck yo feelings”♫. I left right after that one......

Seen in Oxford - on a day like to today the seems perfectly reasonable! It's still snowing here!!

Understand, I’ll slip quietly

away from the noisy crowd

when I see the pale

stars rising, blooming, over the oaks.

 

I’ll pursue solitary pathways

through the pale twilit meadows,

with only this one dream:

 

You come too.

I understand that this sign is now being restored. I'm so happy to hear that
